If I had a tank... I'd drive it to work at least one day per week... to get back at all the aggressive-angry drivers here in north Texas (Plano to be exact).

GET OUT OF MY WAY MINIONS.

This gentleman was a dedicated collector and restorer...

His ranch was just a few minutes away - and he opened it frequently to allow guests a pleasant experience to get up close and personal with some fine machinery.....

He spared no cost in his restorations, nor compromised his desire for quality in his restorations.

He was a gentle and gracious man - who made visitors welcome.

He will be missed. May he rest in peace.

In my days of Scouting, I had several friends see the collection of tanks in Portola Valley. I never got out there, but I hope these make it to a museum that allows people to climb and operate them! These are engineering masterpieces originally and refurbished.

It would be nice to know you'd jammed all that stuff into any lifetime:
Remarkable to see it done in 59 years.

(Yes, it is clear that he was not born poor; so what - he used his time and money well.)

So instead of a 21 gun salute, he will be honored with a 200 tank salute. May he RIP. And yes, I’d love to go visit those tanks. Hopefully they will open it up to the public.

Mr. Littlefield’s works were featured on the “Military Channel” in a series about tank restorations. I saw trhe one they did on his Panther.

What’s he standing next to? An M4 -A2 with a 76 long? Definitely looks like a M4 body but that gun is way more than a standard 75.
